The Real Holden Caulfield: Available Now

SATURDAY JULY 16 WAS THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

To celebrate, The Fiction Advocate is publishing a short e-book called “The Real Holden Caulfield.” You can read short excerpts on The Awl and The Rumpus, then download the full version for $1.99.

And it’s for a good cause — in tribute to Seymour Glass, Sergeant X, Babe Gladwaller and Salinger himself, who was hospitalized for “Battle Fatigue” — or PTSD — after World War II, half of the proceeds from sales of “The Real Holden Caulfield will be donated to The Wounded Warrior Project.
